Chapter 401 Family Love

Ever since General Xiaofeng was recognized by the Duke, he had less and less status in front of Luo Jingfeng. Even his qualification to talk to him was taken away. He was so angry that he wanted to chop him every time he saw him.

"Bring it here."

Luo Jingfeng took the letter and saw Zong Zhao's plan: he said that his close relationship with Cheng'er would arouse suspicion, so he should keep his troops in place and only prepare a few fast horses to guard the city gate. The Shen family and the Wei family would put pressure on the City Patrol Office to take care of the rest.

"You idiot..." Luo Jingfeng didn't know who he was scolding, he was just so angry that he wanted to scold someone. He stopped General Xiaofeng and said, "Don't reorganize the troops yet."

General Xiaofeng's excitement instantly wilted.

General Pang didn't know what happened, but seeing that General Xiaofeng was in a bad mood, he felt much better and asked quickly, "Does the Duke have any arrangements? As long as it can help the young master, I will do it."

Luo Jingfeng calmed down and arranged: "Go and prepare three fast horses, the best ones."

"yes."

"Send a message to the camp outside the capital, and ask them to send tents, quilts and other things to them in Zong Zhao's name. Don't let my Cheng'er get frozen."

"yes."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Shen and Wei families. If they dare not go to the city gate to pick us up tomorrow morning, we will kick down their front doors in the name of Zong Zhao."

"yes."

As Luo Jingfeng explained everything one by one, the two generals assigned people to handle them one by one.

After running back and forth several times, Luo Jingfeng still couldn't let go and strode out: "No, I still have to go and watch it myself. What if Cheng'er gets scared? What if they can't do their job well... I'm going to deal with these bastards sooner or later!"

There was wasteland at the city gate, and it was not easy to find a place to live, but fortunately, people from the military camp outside Beijing arrived in time.

A small group of well-trained soldiers came over with several carts of food and lodging supplies and said to Zong Zhao, "General, we have brought the things you requested. We will help you set up camp now."

Xu Wan looked at Zong Zhao and asked, "What did you want? I didn't hear you say it just now."

Zong Zhao whispered, "It should be prepared by Luo Jingfeng. It is inconvenient for him to show up directly."

Xu Wan understood instantly.

Several young men saw the battle and gathered around in amazement: "It looks amazing, setting up camp? Is this a marching tent?"

"They should be. They are from the camp outside Beijing. They are soldiers who have fought on the battlefield."

"Oh my god, Uncle Zong is so amazing. He was able to call them over. We don't have to worry about where to sleep tonight, and we don't have to worry about being cold."

"Hehe, things are really going well. We will definitely be able to enter the Gongyuan tomorrow."

"That's for sure. Jincheng, come over here quickly. They've brought a lot of food."

"I'm coming."

The soldiers in the barracks were all elite. They quickly set up the tents and laid out thick quilts so that they could rest.

The leading general saluted and said to Zong Zhao, "General, please see if there are any other arrangements?"

Zong Zhao replied: "No, you did a great job, go back and have a rest."

The general replied, "Yes, I will bring people to collect the things tomorrow. If the general needs anything, please let me know."

"good."

After eating and drinking, the boys went into the tent to rest.

Xu Wan was afraid of disturbing them, so she put out all the fires and sent people to guard the children's tents around them, fearing that any more accidents might happen.

Zong Zhao pulled her into the tent and said, "You've been running all day, you should take a rest. There's no point in being anxious now, especially since we've already made arrangements."

Xu Wan was tense all day and couldn't relax. She felt a headache, but still shook her head and said, "You go to sleep. I can't sleep. I'll think about whether there is anything I missed."

Zong Zhao remained silent, as if he was determined to stay with her through it.

But when a person is extremely tired, the brain cannot stay clear as usual. The harder she tried to think, the more confused she became.

Zong Zhao held her in his arms and laid her down to rest. He covered her eyes with one hand and whispered, "Go to sleep quickly and stop thinking."

With Zong Zhao's warm palms covering her eyes and forehead, Xu Wan's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and she fell asleep soon.

The next day, at the hour of Mao, it was still dark.

Xu Wan suddenly opened her eyes as if her biological clock had been ticked. She asked Zong Zhao, who had opened his eyes at the same time, "Is it daybreak? Is it time to open the city gates?"

Zong Zhao opened the tent and looked at the sky. He asked the servant who was on night watch outside, and he came back and told her, "It's just the morning of the morning. We still have to wait a while before dawn."

Xu Wan quickly got up and put on her clothes: "Get up, wake up the children, and get ready to go into the city."

"good."

Zong Zhao put on his clothes and went out to arrange for the servants to wake up the young boys.

Soon, the group was ready.

At this time, the sky was getting light and the city gate slowly opened, revealing Madam Shen, Madam Wei, and Yan Suxue who were waiting inside. Knowing that the children could not enter the city, they hurried back overnight and did not dare to sleep.

"mother!"

"mother!"

"mother!"

All the men in the family had gone to court. When the three young boys saw their mother, they excitedly ran towards the city gate. They were not allowed to pass until the city guards had checked them.

He Zheng watched from behind with a smile on his face.

Zong Jincheng pushed him and said softly, "Don't think too much. They were all sent by my father to help us calm down. They probably didn't have time to notify your family because of the urgent need for time."

He Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay, big brother. I don't mind. As long as we can get into the city, let's go take the exam."

"good!"

The little devil pulled him in. Just a few steps into the city, he saw Luo Jingfeng riding a tall horse not far away. He waved at him proudly and said, "My eldest son, come here. Your godfather will take you to the tribute courtyard."

Zong Jincheng was stunned.

Luo Jingfeng...why is he here too?

The little devil looked at Zong Zhao uncertainly and asked, "Dad? How do we get to Gongyuan?"

Zong Zhao replied: "Ride a horse, after all... the Protector of the Country is ready."

As soon as Zong Jincheng heard his permission, he ran towards Luo Jingfeng quickly. His horse was tall and big, and it was obvious that it could run fast.

Luo Jingfeng carried him onto the horse, but before he could leave, Zong Zhao called him and said, "There are three horses, and you only take him?"

Luo Jingfeng said impatiently: "How else can I lead five of them on my own horse?"

Zong Zhao said speechlessly: "Keep a low profile. It's too conspicuous if you only bring him with you. I'm still here."

The son does not ride his father's horse, but rides Luo Jingfeng's horse. Isn't this definitely problematic?

"Trouble." Luo Jingfeng's face was full of unhappiness. He pointed at Shen Yibai and said, "The kid from the Shen family, come here."
